156-587 Exam Dumps - Checkpoint CCTE Questions and Answers

The STAT column in the output of the cpwd_admin list command shows the status of the monitored process. The possible values are E for established, meaning that the process is running, or T for terminated, meaning that the process is not running. The STAT column is useful for quickly checking if any critical process has crashed or failed to start. If the value is T, the process should be restarted and the reason for the termination should be investigated. The STAT column does not show the Watch Dog name, the number of times the process was started, or the monitoring method of the Watch Dog. 

When a process isfrozen(hung or unresponsive), the typical method to resolve it is tokill the process. On Check Point, you can use cpwd_admin kill -name or a standard Linux kill -9 command if necessary. You then allowCPWD(the Check Point watchdog) to restart it, or manually restart it if needed.

Other options:

A. Power off the machine: This is too drastic and not recommended just for a single frozen process.

B. Restart the process: While this sounds viable, you typicallymust killthe frozen process first, then let WatchDog or an admin restart it.

C. Reboot the machine: Similar to powering off—too disruptive for just one stuck process.

Hence, the most direct and standard approach:“Kill the process.”
